Published Comment: 'Comfortable cabin, quiet and secluded. Great place to relax and refresh. Our home internet was lost for a period of time between initial on-line inquiry, booking and payment and Denis was excellent in facilitating process.'

Hi David

Thanks for your email.

Well I'm back now in muggy Brisbane & missing the weather in TAS.

Yesterday there was a real wintery wind at the beach house, which I actually enjoyed! (I love the cold)

The beach house retains warmth really well from the afternoon sun too.

One magpie in particular became a bit of a mate (very tame) & he/she sat on the railing for hours looking inside.

I must admit your beach house ticked all the boxes! 2 nights was definately too short & I now regret not staying there 5 (or more).

My 3 nights at Old Oakwood Port Arthur was nice enough, but your property had so much more to offer.

A guest mentioned they lost a golf ball or 2....I found 2 on a walk & put them with the others.

The view at high tide is truly beautiful (as you'd be well aware I'm sure)

Anyway, thanks for my great stay. I get down to TAS as much as I can & like booking in different regions.

Lovely watching the tide come in and out. Very comfortable, enjoyed our stay. All we needed was here. Would come again. Mish and Linda

We’ve been coming to Tasmania since 1969 and have
explored many corners on many holidays since then. This is the first real visit
to the Tasman peninsula. We’ve been very pleased to be able to book back in to
Salem Bay. We intend to come back. Have loved the walks and the scenery and hopefully
the good trip tomorrow on our way home.
We’ve seen the Coal mine, loved Fish and
chips at the coast, and will go on the boat into the Southern Ocean with the
local crowd.

Lovely and serene, Had a a wonderful
relaxing time. Plenty of walks and made a Magpie friendJ Thanks you so much. Will def be back again. The perfect place to stay if
you want peace and quiet. I’ll miss the ocean, Thanx again. Shirl Victoria Nov 2012

Very Peaceful. Had a very relaxing
time (I needed it) It is the only place I know that you can get a sun burn a
6:00 in the morning in bed! We befriended the Maggys and my niece went for lots
of walks gathering shell etc. No complaints whatsoever. Will try to come again.
Thankyou. Pauline Scottsdale

A salubrious little cottage in a
brilliant location. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring this end of the peninsula and
playing “Bear hunt” in the coal mines.Tristan,Emily and
Jasper.

What a way to finish our week in Tassie!We had everything we needed to make us feel at home.The only problem was we didnt have time for low tide beach golf!

"Salem Bay Beach House is in a lovely spot, with the beach at the bottom of the garden. The bird life is plentiful on the sand flats at low tide and the water is lovely and clear and safe for swimming..." - JANE,

"Second stay at Salem Bay, experience just as good as the first. Shallow Bay below house great for kids (safe and keeps them fully occupied)."

"My partner i had a loverly relaxing stay, weather was great fishing also pretty good & going straight out form the accommodation was brilliant. Accommodation was cosy, neat & very tidy perfect for four people. Great weekend, only 20 minutes to anywhere on the peninsula."
